List of Ingredients




2 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate
½ tsp. baking powder
1/3 cup shortening
½ tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup pecan halves
½ tsp. vanilla
1 cup M&M minis, divided
2 large eggs 1 ¼ cups flour
1 cup chocolate frosting




Recipe



Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease cookie sheets; set aside. Heat chocolate and shortening in 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted; remove from heat. Mix in sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in 2/3 cup M&Ms minis.

For each cookie, arrange 3 pecan halves, with ends almost touching at center, on prepared cookie sheets. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto center of each group of pecans; mound the dough slightly. Bake 8 – 10 minutes just until set; do not over bake. Immediately remove cookies to wire racks to cool completely. Top each cookie with frosting; press remaining M&Ms minis into frosting to create turtle shell. Makes about 2 ½ dozen cookies.
